3. The history of the Delphic sanctuary, the location of the most well-known ancient Greek oracle, is on display at the Archaeological Museum of Delphi, one of the most significant in Greece. The majority of the sanctuary's extensive collections are made up of architectural sculptures, statues, and small items. The well-known Charioteer was part of a complex of statues that featured a chariot pulled by four horses and another male figure. One of the earliest depictions in art of the demonic creature with a lion's body, bird's wings, and a woman's head can be found in the Sphinx of the Naxians, which dates to 560 BC.

The temples of Apollo and Athena, were built near the end of the 7th century and were known as "Pronea." Athena was given the name Pronea because her sanctuary was one of the first to appear as one ascends from Delphi to Phocis. It is one of Delphi's oldest structures.

About Athen

Athen løfter Akropolis over en vidstrakt moderne hovedstad der antikke ruiner, smug i skråningene og lange taverna-kvelder ligger side om side.

Parthenon kroner Akropolis, flankert av Erechtheion med sin veranda av karyatider, og Akropolismuseet ved foten av høyden viser skulpturer funnet på fjellet. Rundt omkring gjør Den antikke agora, Olympieion, Hadrians port og det marmorbelagte Panathinaiko-stadion den klassiske byen lett å gå gjennom.
